Exactly, and this will only detoriate for XB1 for various reasons.
- The early adopters don't see the whole picture (who is buying what) and they mostly go with your PERSONAL preferences.
- The early adopters are usually not price sensitive so the price differential doesn't mean much to them.
- The supplies issues affect consoles sales as well, at least in early periods.
- Once the dust settles down, the supply issues are ironed put, people see what others tend to prefer, then the SOCIAL preferences come into play, also called "herding" (you may swithc to a PS4 even if you wanted an XB1 since everybody else is buying a PS4). Also the new comers are usually more price sensitive, whow will favor PS4 a lot more.
